Waffle Day!

Living in Sweden

It seems a month cannot go by here without something to celebrate. March is quite a quiet month, but it has one of my favourite days in it. Waffle Day! Why is there a waffle day here in Sweden? Well I had to look it up on Wikipedia as nobody here knew why:

“The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary was once called "Vårfrudagen" (Our Lady's Day) in Swedish. In certain dialects, the word "Vårfrudagen" was pronounced as "Våfferdagen", Over time the word became "Våffeldagen" (Waffle Day), giving rise to the tradition of eating waffles on this day.”

So there you go. Now, I am not very religious, all that is important to me is that I am furnished with a suitably large pile of waffles, whipped cream, jam and freshly brewed coffee. I would like to thank our friend Frida for doing this for me this year. Much appreciated.


Scrummy.

That is all.
